Professor Helmut Norpoth, Who Predicted 2016 Victory, Predicts Trump Has 91% Chance of Winning Re-Election

Many political observers and experts have called Professor Norpoth the `` gold standard '' in election predictions .
He was one of the few political scientists that accurately predicted that Trump would defeat Hillary .
Professor Norpoth himself wrote his predictions on Newsday : With much of the country in lockdown , millions of Americans out of work , and Wall Street crashes evoking memories of the Great Depression , it may seem foolish to predict a comfortable reelection for President Donald Trump .
But that is what my prediction model forecasts : It gives Trump a 91 % chance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former Vice President Joe Biden .
Trump would get 362 electoral votes , Biden 176 .
( Trump would also beat Sen. Bernie Sanders , who dropped out last week , with 390 electoral votes to the Vermonter ’ s 148 . )
For more than 100 years , the model has selected the winner of almost all presidential campaigns , including Trump ’ s victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 .
The Primary Model is a statistical algorithm that uses presidential primaries as the key predictor of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is favored to win because of his superior primary performance and the tendency of the electoral pendulum to hold steady after one term in the Oval Office .
On the off chance of a mismatch between electoral and popular votes , as happened in 2016 , the forecast for 2020 targets the vote of the Electoral College ( assuming a majority of electors for one nominee ) .
Winning primaries , especially the early ones , has proved to be a powerful leading indicator of victory in November .
Trump , who had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican primary in New Hampshire while Biden came in fifth on the Democratic side .
Biden had a strong comeback in South Carolina but a split verdict in the first two contests , which augurs poorly for November .
What also favors Trump is the operation of the electoral pendulum of presidential elections .
Just consider as an illustration how that pendulum has worked since 1960 : When the party in the White House was in its first term , it won reelection six out of seven times , meaning the electoral pendulum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Jimmy Carter losing to GOP challenger Ronald Reagan in 1980 .
On the other hand , when a party had held the White House for two terms or more , it lost seven out of eight times .
Meaning the electoral pendulum generally swings to the challenging party on those occasions .
The exception in that period came in 1988 : President George H.W .
Bush extended the GOP hold of the White House after two Reagan terms .
All of this adds up to powerful odds in favor of someone like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now add the knock-out punch : primary performance .
It may be surprising to learn that presidential primaries have been around since 1912 .
That year , President William Howard Taft was challenged in Republican primaries , not just by a token opponent , but by a former president , Theodore Roosevelt .
Taft badly lost to TR in the GOP primaries but was handed the nomination nonetheless at the party ’ s national convention .
Meanwhile , on the Democratic side , Woodrow Wilson won his party ’ s primary battle , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and went on to win the general election .
A pattern was set : the party nominee with the stronger primary performance defeats the nominee with the weaker primary performance .
It has held up for more than 100 years .

Taylor Swift Chimes In: Accuses Trump of “Stoking the Fires of White Supremacy” and “We Will Vote You Out”

It appears that heightened emotions are driving the liberal mob .
Taylor Swift 's tweet accusing Trump of stoking the fires of white supremacy became her most liked tweet ever .
Taylor Swift slammed President Donald Trump on Friday ( May 29 ) for tweeting that protesters in Minnesota should be shot .
The tweet has become Swift 's most-liked tweet ever , hitting more than one million likes in less than five hours .
`` After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency , you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shooting starts ’ ?
?
?
We will vote you out in November .
@ realdonaldtrump , '' she wrote .
Liberal allies in the media claim that Taylor 's tweet could help `` take down '' the president .
According to Seth Cohen , a contributor at Forbes : During a week in which President Trump ’ s war with Twitter was at the center of the national conversation , it might actually be a Tweet by a pop star that changes the outcome of the 2020 presidential campaign .
On Friday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world ’ s biggest musical superstars , shared a 38-word Tweet admonishing President Trump for his provocative comments about the riots in Minneapolis .
In doing so , she put the President on notice .
Swift ’ s social media post comes in response to the President ’ s Thursday Tweet addressing the ongoing riots in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by four Minneapolis police officers .
Trump ’ s comment that “ when the looting starts , the shooting starts ” was a call back to racially charged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Headley in 1967 , and echoed the commonly used phrase by presidential candidate George Wallace during the highly volatile 1968 presidential campaign .
While Swift was by no means the only celebrity to express outrage at the President ’ s provocative comments , she might be the one with the most active group of followers .
Swift has 86.2 million followers on Twitter , and a fanbase of “ Swifties ” that has a reputation for rallying behind the singer-songwriter and her calls to action .
Already her Friday morning post is her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shared over 390,000 times by Saturday morning .
But it might be what her followers do in November that will make the biggest difference .
In 2016 , Swift famously stayed silent on the presidential election between President Trump and Hillary Clinton , and many people felt like her lack of an endorsement was a missed opportunity to motivate her fans to get out to vote for the Democratic candidate .
In an interview in Vogue this past August , Swift addressed the decision to not make an endorsement .
“ Unfortunately , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a political opponent [ Trump ] who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement , '' Swift told Vogue .
`` He was going around saying , ‘ I ’ m a man of the people .
I ’ m for you .
I care about you.
’ I just knew I wasn ’ t going to help . ''
To suggest that Americans vote for President based on celebrity endorsements insults the intelligence of Americans .
Debates , speeches , and mega rallies all give the American people equal access to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make their own choice as to who they will vote for in November .
They do n't need a millionnaire , out-of-touch Hollywood celebrity such as Swift to tell them who they can and ca n't vote for .

welovetrump--2020-05-31--MyPillow’s Mike Lindell Changes Tune, “I’ll Run For Governor If God Will Have Me Do It”

But as Politico reports , President Trump has been nudging him to get in the game : President Donald Trump introduced those tuning into his nightly coronavirus task force briefing on Monday to a special guest : Mike Lindell , the multimillionaire inventor and CEO of the MyPillow empire .
`` Boy , do you sell those pillows , '' Trump said , asking him to step up to the mic and tell Americans how his company was helping them deal with the outbreak .
Lindell then launched into a short infomercial for his company , going on to describe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ masks and effusively praising the president for his pandemic stewardship .
“ I did not know he was going to do that , but he is a friend of mine , and I do appreciate it , ” Trump said .
It ’ s hardly their first encounter .
Lindell has told associates that the president is encouraging him to run for governor of Minnesota in 2022 , to “ keep Minnesota red beyond ” the 2020 race , according to a person with direct knowledge of his comments .
Trump told him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run , ” according to the source , who spoke with Lindell in late February soon after the MyPillow CEO ’ s conversation with Trump in the White House .
Lindell was in town for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference over that last weekend of February , and on Feb. 29 , posted a photo on Instagram of himself with Trump at the White House , saying he had been appointed the chair of the Trump 2020 campaign in Minnesota .
“ We will make Minnesota great again !
” he wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White House have also had internal conversations about Lindell ’ s political future , including a prospective run for governor .
The fact that the MyPillow inventor is a “ Trump Republican ” makes the president ’ s team excited about his potential candidacy , according to a person familiar with the discussions .
Lindell is “ likable , has a great persona and great redemption story , ” this person said .
“ It has been a tough state but there is excitement and folks are excited about the prospect that Minnesota @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a potential run for years , telling associates that Trump had wanted him to run in 2018 , but apparently Lindell dropped the idea after it became clear that his company was on the brink of layoffs .
MyPillow eventually laid off 150 workers in 2019 .
Lindell , a lifelong Minnesota resident , would likely face off against the Democrat incumbent Tim Walz , who was elected in 2018 .
Walz currently has a 55 percent approval rating and a 25 percent disapproval rating , according to recent polling from the Star-Tribune @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won , it would n't be the first time that Minnesota has elected a celebrity political outsider : Former professional wrestler Jesse Ventura served as governor from 1999 to 2003 and comedian Al Franken won two terms as a U.S. senator from the state .
In a brief interview , Lindell denied that Trump has encouraged him to run .
“ I ’ ve never talked to Donald Trump about it .
I rarely have a conversation with him , maybe once in a blue moon.
” A White House spokesman declined to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ 100 percent committed ” to a run in 2022 , one person who spoke to him added that he may have just been boasting .
“ Mike is a very braggadocios guy in the same vein as Trump , where he ’ ll say , ‘ I ’ m going to do X-Y-Z ’ and then just totally forgets about it , or totally decides that it ’ s not in his best interests anymore and so just lets it disappear , ” this person added .
Lindell pushed back on this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say I do something , I ’ m like the president : I follow through and do it .
I keep my promises.
” The flirtation , however , has started to become more public .
In recent months , Lindell published an autobiography and told local media outlets during interviews that he ’ s open to the possibility of running in 2022 .
“ You know , people keep asking me , so yeah , I ’ ll consider it and I ’ ll pray about it and see if God leads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said during a January appearance on The Paul & Jordana Show on News Talk 830 WCCO .
As he recently told the Star-Tribune , he appointed his son Darren as the company ’ s chief operating officer , “ [ i ] n case we do anything political.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sunday, May 31, 2020
Attorney General William P. Barr's Statement on Riots and Domestic Terrorism
Attorney General William P. Barr has issued the following statement:
“With the rioting that is occurring in many of our cities around the country, the voices of peaceful and legitimate protests have been hijacked by violent radical elements. Groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate, violent, and extremist agenda.
It is time to stop watching the violence and to confront and stop it. The continued violence and destruction of property endangers the lives and livelihoods of others, and interferes with the rights of peaceful protestors, as well as all other citizens.
It also undercuts the urgent work that needs to be done – through constructive engagement between affected communities and law enforcement leaders – to address legitimate grievances. Preventing reconciliation and driving us apart is the goal of these radical groups, and we cannot let them succeed.
It is the responsibility of state and local leaders to ensure that adequate law enforcement resources, including the National Guard where necessary, are deployed on the streets to reestablish law and order. We saw this finally happen in Minneapolis last night, and it worked.
Federal law enforcement actions will be directed at apprehending and charging the violent radical agitators who have hijacked peaceful protest and are engaged in violations of federal law.
To identify criminal organizers and instigators, and to coordinate federal resources with our state and local partners, federal law enforcement is using our existing network of 56 regional FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF).
The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.”

De Blasio ’ s defense of the NYPD is a departure from the platform on which he ran for office : ending police misconduct .

“ It is inappropriate for protestors to surround a police vehicle and threaten police officers , ” he said .
“ That ’ s wrong on its face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the history of protests in this city.
” He added that it was “ clear that a different element has come into play here who are trying to hurt police officers and trying to damage their vehicles.

However , on Sunday morning , de Blasio had clarified his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did n't like what he saw `` one bit . ''
`` I did not want to ever see something like that I do n't want to ever see it again , '' de Blasio said during a Sunday press conference .

From NBC News:
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio defended the New York City Police Department after a pair of the force’s SUVs drove into a crowd during Saturday’s protest against George Floyd's death.
De Blasio reacted after videos were posted to social media, which showed protestors moving a yellow barrier in front a police vehicle in Brooklyn. Protestors threw traffic cones and other items at the SUV as a second vehicle arrived and slowly drove through the crowd forming around it.
The first vehicle then drove into the barricade at a higher speed, sending people sprawling. Multiple city officials told NBC News there were no injuries as a result of the incident.
De Blasio’s defense of the NYPD is a departure from the platform on which he ran for office: ending police misconduct. In a news conference late Saturday, he called the video "upsetting," but said protestors were wrong to surround the SUVs.
“It is inappropriate for protestors to surround a police vehicle and threaten police officers,” he said. “That’s wrong on its face and that hasn’t happened in the history of protests in this city.”
He added that it was “clear that a different element has come into play here who are trying to hurt police officers and trying to damage their vehicles.”
While he wished the officers had not driven into the crowd, de Blasio said he "understood they didn't start the situation," which he said was "started by a group of protesters converging on a police vehicle."
However, on Sunday morning, de Blasio had clarified his comments about the video, saying he didn't like what he saw "one bit."
"I did not want to ever see something like that I don't want to ever see it again," de Blasio said during a Sunday press conference. "And clearly, we need to do a full investigation and look at the actions of those officers and see what was done and why it was done and what could be done differently."
The mayor said an independent review into the video would be led by Corporation Counsel James Johnson and NYC Department of Investigation Commissioner Margaret Garnett and their findings would be concluded in June.
De Blasio, a Democrat, has had a troubled relationship with the NYPD, particularly rank-and-file officers. In February, police leaders and unions lashed out at the mayor after a gunman attempted to assassinate one office and injured another.
Edward D. Mullins, the president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, tweeted in February that members of the NYPD were “declaring war” on him.
Last August, the union declared it had “no confidence” in de Blasio, after it claimed that he had “unlawfully interfered” in the firing of Daniel Pantaleo, the officer who was seen on video using a chokehold during Eric Garner’s deadly arrest five years ago.
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused de Blasio of “making excuses” for the NYPD.
“As mayor, this police department is under your leadership,” the Democrat congresswoman tweeted early Sunday. “This moment demands leadership and accountability from each of us. Defending and making excuses for NYPD running SUVs into crowds was wrong.”

A reporter for WAVE 3 News , Kaitlin Rust , and a photojournalist , James Dobson , appeared to have been hit by pepper balls , reportedly fired by a Louisville Metro Police Department officer , during a protest in the downtown area .
It was previously reported that the officer was firing rubber bullets , but LMPD spokeswoman Jessie Halladay said the department ’ s officers do not use rubber bullets , and it was likely that was Rust and Dobson were hit with pepper balls .
Halladay commented again on the incident during a Saturday morning briefing with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe it was one of our SRT officers ; we are still trying to identify which officer , ” Halladay said .
“ Targeting the media is not our intention .
There was a lot going on last night , and to be fair to both the officer and to Kaitlin , we need to take a deeper look at what happened and what prompted that action .
So we have said that we will do that and if there needs to be discipline we will address it.

And from local WKYT:
A reporter for WAVE 3 News, Kaitlin Rust, and a photojournalist, James Dobson, appeared to have been hit by pepper balls, reportedly fired by a Louisville Metro Police Department officer, during a protest in the downtown area.
It was previously reported that the officer was firing rubber bullets, but LMPD spokeswoman Jessie Halladay said the department’s officers do not use rubber bullets, and it was likely that was Rust and Dobson were hit with pepper balls.
Halladay commented again on the incident during a Saturday morning briefing with Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer.
“We believe it was one of our SRT officers; we are still trying to identify which officer,” Halladay said. “Targeting the media is not our intention. There was a lot going on last night, and to be fair to both the officer and to Kaitlin, we need to take a deeper look at what happened and what prompted that action. So we have said that we will do that and if there needs to be discipline we will address it.”
In response to what happened to Rust and Dobson, WAVE 3 News General Manager Ken Selvaggi issued a statement saying, “We strongly condemn the actions of the LMPD officer who tonight repeatedly fired at and hit our reporter and cameraman, both of whom were courageously and lawfully covering breaking news in their community. There is simply no justification for the Louisville police to wantonly open fire, even with pepper balls, on any journalists under any circumstances.”
The statement also said “When the officer fired at Ms. Rust and Mr. Dobson, the two had been following police instructions, were standing behind the police line when they were fired upon, and were not disrupting or otherwise interfering with law enforcement.”
During night two of several hundred protesters gathering downtown in wake of protests across the country following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, crowds appear to be larger and police are continuing their efforts to clear the area.
A WAVE vehicle was found vandalized downtown as the crowd intensified.
Louisville protesters want action taken against three LMPD officers involved in the death of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, a black woman, in March. She was shot during a no-knock warrant that was being served at her home.

CBS Marketwatch had more details:
The White House late Sunday morning announced that President Donald Trump would not appear on camera today, ending talk that he might address the nation regarding the protests seen across the country over the past few days.
Hosts of the Sunday television news shows had suggested a speech by the president might be in the cards and asked their guests what his message should be.
But later in the morning, the White House declared a so-called lid, meaning the president was not going to be seen on camera. There had been no public events scheduled for the president.
Democrats and one Republican governor criticized Trump’s language to date on the unrest and urged him to stay silent.
There were violent protests in dozens of American cities Saturday night.
On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said Trump “should just stop talking” because he was “making it worse.”
On Twitter early Sunday, the president said that “the lamestream media” are composed of “truly bad people”; that the U.S. would designate the anti-fascist movement known as antifa as a terrorist organization; and that the National Guard troops called up by the Democratic governor of Minnesota had done a “great job.”
White House national-security adviser Robert O’Brien described criticism of Trump’s response to the protests as misplaced. The president “is with the peaceful protesters,” O’Brien said on ABC News’s “This Week.”
The Trump tweet threatening that any protesters breaching the White House perimeter would be met by “ominous weapons” and “vicious dogs,” as well as his when-the-looting-starts-the-shooting-starts tweet, represented an effort by the president to “de-escalate violence,” O’Brien told CNN.
O’Brien said the White House wanted the FBI to investigate antifa.

President Donald Trump had announced he would soon be addressing the nation from the White House Rose Garden, as a 7 p.m. curfew in the city loomed and a mass of law enforcement, including U.S. Secret Service agents, Park Police and National Guardsmen, stood sentry, many dressed in riot gear.
Moments before 6:30 p.m., just when Trump said he would begin his address, the officers suddenly marched forward, directly confronting the protesters as many held up their hands, saying, “Don’t shoot."
Soon, law enforcement officers were aggressively forcing the protesters back, firing tear gas and deploying flash bangs into the crowd to disperse them from the park for seemingly no reason. It was a jarring scene as police in the nation's capital forcefully cleared young men and women gathered legally in a public park on a sunny evening, all of it on live television.
With smoke still wafting and isolated tussles continuing in the crowd, Trump emerged in the Rose Garden for a dramatic split-screen of his own creation.
“I am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters," he declared, before demanding that governors across the nation deploy the National Guard "in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets." And he warned that, if they refused, he would deploy the United States military “and quickly solve the problem for them.”
As an additional show of force, Trump announced he was deploying even more of the military to Washington, D.C., giving it the feel of an armed, locked-down city after days of violent clashes, arson and looting.
“As we speak I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers," he said, as explosions rang out in the background. “We are putting everybody on warning.”

Trump walked slowly, followed by an entourage of his most senior aides, security and reporters. The faint residue of pepper spray hung in the air, stinging eyes and prompting coughing.
Sections of the park and surrounding sidewalks were strewn with garbage, including plastic water bottles and other debris. Some sections had been scrawled with graffiti.
Trump crossed H Street and walked toward St. John’s Episcopal Church, the landmark pale yellow building where every president, including Trump, has prayed. It had been damaged Sunday night in a protest fire.
Trump, standing alone in front of cameras, then raised a black-covered Bible for reporters to see.

In downtown Atlanta, Saturday night’s response to George Floyd’s death began as a protest and ended with window-smashing, widespread vandalism and more than 150 arrests.
By 6 p.m., more than 200 people had gathered outside Centennial Olympic Park. The protesters shouted slogans like “no justice, no peace” and “I can’t breathe!”
Brandon Bell of Atlanta carried a sign that declared “white silence is the accomplice of evil.”

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms put a curfew into place for the city after Friday night’s chaotic protests that led to vandalism and looting in parts of downtown. As the 9 p.m. curfew approached, the number of marchers gathered in the streets thinned slightly. But it was evident that some in the crowd were itching for a confrontation. A few tossed water bottles at police officers. Several were arrested for blocking the street. As more police arrived, some of the shouts became angrier and obscene. One protester shouted “let’s start shooting back!” Another called a black officer a “sellout.” Police lined the street around the corner where the protesters gathered, keeping them on the sidewalk. So the protesters marched several blocks before returning to the park. Confrontations became more frequent – some in the crowd tossed bottles, and police rushed in to make arrests, sometimes sending protesters scattering.

Pittsburgh police are searching for a man they said turned Saturday’s protest in the city’s downtown over the death of George Floyd into a riot. Brian Jordan Bartels, 20, of Shaler, Penn., remained at large Monday, police said. They said a search warrant was served on his home Sunday in conjuction with the FBI. “Police secured the warrant as part of an investigation into a male suspect who incited Saturday’s violence by breaking the windows out of a marked Pittsburgh Police vehicle Uptown, against the wishes of peaceful protesters who tried to stop him,” police spokesman Chris Togneri said. Bartels faces charges of institutional vandalism, rioting, and reckless endangerment of another person, he said. Pittsburgh Public Safety said 60 businesses and properties were damaged during Saturday’s violence. Police made 44 arrests. On Saturday Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert complained that the protest turned violent after being hijacked by white males dressed in anarchist Antifa attire. “I’m willing to bet my check that there’s a lot of people who are anarchists, who, they’re not here to protest what happened, they’re not here to protest what happened, they’re here to take advantage of situations and throw it their way and bring other people into the mix and cause damage and cause injury,” Schubert said, according to KDKA-TV. “There’s no doubt that that’s who’s doing it and a lot of things we’re seeing are white males, dressed in the anarchist, Antifa, they’re ones who are fueling a lot of this,” he said. “It’s just a damn shame that they took advantage of the situation, for something, something happened in another state where somebody died who shouldn’t have died, and they hijacked that message for their own.” Police released a photo of Bartels in a black bandanna and black hooded sweatshirt. A criminal complaint says police received a tip late Saturday night from an anonymous caller who said Bartels was a co-worker at Amazon, the Pittsburgh Tribune reported Monday.
It’s a relief to see those inspiring violence are being held accountable.
Hopefully even more who participated in the rioting are brought to justice.

"It's time to go big."
Those are the words of Robert Johnson, the founder of BET.
Well… as if our national deficit isn't high enough!
Our national debt is the highest it's EVER been with no end in sight. Even if we taxed the entire economy at 100% for an entire year, we wouldn't be able to pay off the debt!
Yet… Johnson is calling for $14 trillion in reparations for slavery.
Slavery ended in 1863.
Though no slaves are alive today and no slave owners are alive today, Johnson wants $14 trillion in reparations for slavery.
"Wealth transfer is what's needed," he said.
Ummm…. what about the white people who never owned slaves? Or whose ancestors fought for freedom? Do they have to pay reparations?
What about the people who immigrated to the United States legally? Black, Asian, Hispanic, Indian, and yes, even Caucasian. Do they need to pay reparations for slavery?

Martial law….
American cities subject to curfews all across the country….
A pandemic….
